I'm not sure if my investigative reporting skills are are quite up to par enough to delve into Christian Science yet, but I am terribly interested in learning more about this religion so I am going to do it anyway. This is one of those religions that really peaks my interest but I don't really know too much about it.
What do I know about Christian Science, well first it is NOT to be confused with Scientology, they are not linked in any way (I will be delving into Scientology a little further down the road, waiting for Tom Cruise to give me a call). I know that the name Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science are synonymous. I know they I also happen to know that Marilyn Monroe was a Christian Scientist. I know that Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was written by Mary Baker Eddy and I believe still in print and referred to by Christian Scientists today.
What are some of the things I have heard about Christian Scientists? Well from what I hear they do not believe in medical science or seeing doctors. This is something I will have to ask someone. I am particularly intrigued in doing this religion because of all the talk about health care (or lack of) in the US that is going on right now. This will be an interesting prospective to get.
Well, I will be getting in touch with the Christian Science church here today! Hopefully they will be able to meet with me and answer some of the many questions I have about their church!
